Email-to-Salesforce messages bouncing back as "not a valid address"

Question

We are trying to set up Email-to-Salesforce for our ED. We've activated Email-to-Salesforce and added her email address under "accepted email addresses". Our IT firm set up a rule in Outlook to auto BCC every email she sends. However, every time she sends a message it bounces back with the error:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

>>> salesforce@a-31pm1qm5h1w58zlgx9y4218mb5mv8oifebfpuxy9w5gf5bkn9a.8-d5cjeaq.na6.le.salesforce.com (mailto:salesforce@a-31pm1qm5h1w58zlgx9y4218mb5mv8oifebfpuxy9w5gf5bkn9a.8-d5cjeaq.na6.le.salesforce.com) (Undelivered): 551 salesforce@a-31pm1qm5h1w58zlgx9y4218mb5mv8oifebfpuxy9w5gf5bkn9a.8-d5cjeaq.na6.le.salesforce.com (mailto:salesforce@a-31pm1qm5h1w58zlgx9y4218mb5mv8oifebfpuxy9w5gf5bkn9a.8-d5cjeaq.na6.le.salesforce.com) is not a valid address.

I've triple checked that we are using the address listed in Salesforce under her username for my email-to-salesforce.

Does anyone know why this may be happening and how to fix it? Other users in our org are able to use email-to-salesforce without issue. Our IT firm can't figure it out.

Hi Kaitlan,

Please recheck the email to Salesforce email address of that user. Usually email to Salesforce email addresses start with emailtosalesforce@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com.

But on your email address its strat with salesforce@xxxxxxxxxx.com.

Thanks,

Sudhir.

Hmmm you are right. I will reach out to our IT company and have them update the address on their end and see if that solves it. Thank you.
